ROME - In an Italy that is now more and more "white", the inaugurations of small and large exhibitions follow one another: this week do not miss the story of our country through 75 years of ANSA images and the focus on McCurry and Crepax.
ROME - 200 photographs in a path divided into 13 thematic sections and a chronological one to tell the successes and crises, joys and sorrows of Italy and its people: celebrating the 75th anniversary of ANSA "C'era una giro", the great exhibition set up at MAXXi from June 15th to July 4th. Thanks to the images taken by the photographers of the Agency, the public will experience an all-Italian journey, between past and present. "Not Quite Nearly Fine" is the exhibition project, curated by Giulio Squillacciotti, set up at the Baruchello Foundation from 15 June to 28 July: through the works of Anne Huijnen, Artun Alaska Arasli, Ben Weir, Daniel de Paula, Giulio Squillacciotti, Marie Claire Krell, Marwan Moujaes, NourMobarak and Squillacciotti himself, the exhibition (part of the Summer show project, within theEstate romana) explores the theme of language and tells about possible translations, identity conditions, attempts and failures of situations and interpersonal relationships. The sense of restlessness and the desire for change are at the center of "Isole", the environmental video installation that from 10 June to 8 August occupies the spaces of the Mausoleum of Romulus at the Villa di Maxentius. Conceived by Tommaso Strinati and Anna Budkova, the video installation is the result of about two thousand sketches drawn and colored by hand by Budkova and then edited and animated with the stop-motion technique by multi-instrumentalist and videomaker Francesco Arcuri.The sense of restlessness and the desire for change are at the center of "Isole", the environmental video installation that from 10 June to 8 August occupies the spaces of the Mausoleum of Romulus at the Villa di Maxentius.
